Any suggestions on where to find used textbooks for high school subjects?

Sep 02, 2007 by newtohs | Posted in Home Schooling

I'm looking for used or budget-priced textbooks for my highschooler. I'm not looking for Christian-based books though. Basically something I can just open up, understand, and teach from.

This is our first dated homeschooling. We're used to the public school's way of teaching/learning, so we thought we'd stick to teaching that way since he's "comfortable" with it. Once we become more easy (if that's possible...there's so much info out there) with everything that is involved with curriculums, we may change our approach. But for now, this will work for us.

We started profoundly schooling in the 8th grade and our approach was much like your approach. We have found many text books at the Goodwill Store and Salvation Army hoard. The only drawback to these is that they do not come with the teacher's book with answers and ideas. We have found that we can do search online for topics in the book and find more sources and updated advice from the Internet.
Check with your local home school support group and see if they have a used book sale.
EBay does have subject-matter books. They have a rule that they cannot sell the teacher's books. They have a fear that public school students would get one in their hands and swindle. (I work in the public school and copying papers on lunch break is a big part of the 20 minute lunch train.) Ebay users have found a way to get around the rule so look for notes on the ads that tell about 'other books of interest'. This will be the teacher's books or explanation/answer books.
Also, many of the bigger publishing companies have websites with much of their text from the books online. Some have interactives for a number of subjects.
Technology has made home schooling easier than it was 10 years ago.
Best of luck to you.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of personally selling your used textbooks?

Sep 20, 2007 by ♣ ♦ ♥ ♠ | Posted in Higher Education (University +)

I'm in university and I am debating on whether I should push my used textbooks or not. Obviously, I could potentially earn back a good amount of the money that I spent buying the book.

But still, is it worth it to sell? And, should I flog betray it personally (as in person-to-person) or sell it to the campus used bookstore? The Used Bookstore provides an official receipt but only offers 80% of the profit to the seller. If I flog betray it person-to-person, I figured I could sell it for at least 90% of its original price but no receipts =(

Which brings me to my next point, how do you discover the price of the used textbook? I know that you can't sell it for more than the price you bought it for... but what is usually the percentage of the price that students shop them at? 90%? Will someone buy it that high? I mean, I just want a good fair amount of price on my used textbook if I'm going to peddle them.
Pls. help... I've never done this before...

The used bookstore is very opportune, and the few extra dollars you would make in private sales are likely not worth the time you would need trying to flog betray the books on your own (finding a buyer, advertising, etc). vs. just selling them there. Also, when the time comes to sell them, if you want a restricted buyer, you pretty much have to wait until the next term starts before anyone might want it, by which time the same class may switch to another text, and your engage would be worth much less to the used store than if you had sold it by term end.

However, if you want to go that route, the best thing to do is check the bookstore yourself and see what the used copies are already selling for, then present your own at a price higher than what the store will pay you but lower than the price of the used copies the store sells themselves.

And BTW, you still have the right to request a sales receipt from a private buyer, all you need is a signature acknowledging the sale.

What are some good online websites to buy cheap new or used textbooks for school?

Aug 24, 2007 by MiM | Posted in Higher Education (University +)

Since educate is starting up, buying textbooks at school can be costly. I've searched sites like Amazon for cheap new or used textbooks but they are only a few cents cheaper than at shape. Any other good websites to look at when buying online textbooks?

I don't discern, I like Amazon.com, but that's just me. Check out www.half.com (ebay for textbooks) and www.cheaptextbooks.com . You may get lucky and find some good deals. Your conquer bet to find cheap textbooks is at your school. If your school has an online message board type thing for students, see if anyone is selling textbooks that you basic or post a question asking for the books you need. Usually in cafeterias or student lounge or those types of areas there are communiqu boards for announcements for students. Check to see if anyone has posted a bulletin selling books or you could post your own asking for the books you necessary. You are so much more likely to get a good cheap deal this way. Often the online sites will get you good deals, but you end up making up for the difference in shipping charges.

Are there any websites that pay good money for selling used textbooks?

May 03, 2009 by Halley | Posted in Higher Education (University +)

I'm debating whether to put across them back to the college bookstore or trying to sell them online! Do any websites pay good money for selling used textbooks?

Selling on half.com commonly makes you the most money on books. Websites that buy your books back are usually just buying them to list on there anyway. One thing you can do to construct money though is to dropship books. You can email me at rockthecasbah121@yahoo.com if you want more information.
